7.0 copium has got to stop

Actually, yes, it does serve *two* intended purposes - intro gear for raiding and catch-up gear for later. But at least you're becoming more willing to admit you're just being mean-spirited to others. Maybe next time you won't cry foul when someone points that out?

You're just as ill-informed and deluded as Vel. Not surprising as you seem to have adopted a lot of Vel's talking points as of late.

The idea that people can make up their own minds kinda sails over your head, doesnt it. I was right. You really dont like people disagreeing with you.

If you have a talking point that is objectively wrong (like you do) and Striker adopts it as his own (like he has been doing), then that's not him making up his mind, that's him being ill-informed. If he intentionally adopts that objectively incorrect point (like he probably is), then he's also deluded.

The phrasing "making up his mind" indicates that the topic lies within the realm of opinion. If we are discussing a topic that is not based in opinion, and your position is the objectively incorrect one, then you are ill-informed.

Joined date last month and I believe it was last month unlike my account where I didn't use the forum for ARR but even this character is older. lol.

On the contrary I can think of plenty of flaws in the game where it needs improvement since I've been around for 10 years and feel plenty of stuff is outdated like example inventory space and FC chests and content that has been neglected like Aquariums and Rival Wings and further more lack luster rewards when every other MMO is rewarding and finally not enough newly unique content since HW. It wouldn't kill them to listen to the player base about blitzball that people bugged for since HW and also focus on valuing their vet players not just new players.

On the contrary the difference of knowing the issues of the game and a forum troll looking for negative attention like a 3 year old does.

^ I don’t think square has implemented anything for the “veteran” players since what……ultimates, I guess maybe unreal

They really don’t seem to like attempting to retain anyone older than the Covid influx crowd at this point

Correct translation: If we're not talking about a manner of opinion, I can tell you that you're wrong if you are factually wrong. You are factually wrong. This is not opinion. Fact =/= opinion.

Your definition of "factually" is a fluid concept based on your own preconception of what is a "fact" and what is not. What you "believe" to be fact may not actually be so. In this specific area, your refusal to admit or even entertain the notion you may be wrong says volumes.

When one is not prepared to admit error, and doggedly balks at anyone who dares disagree with you, it is understandable that anything you say is treated accordingly.

Hm...interesting perspective.

EDIT:

Heh, funny, this is how I feel all the time here.

I guess it depends on what "veteran" is in this context. Criterion Savage was supposed to be the sorta-answer to Mythic dungeons in WoW as high end content as well. But that's if we mean more hardcore players. I'm not really sure what you'd mean by veteran here, since if it just means people who have been with the game for a while, a lot of additions could be argued to be for their benefit. Island Sanctuary, additional Glamour Chest space, etc etc.

Id agree with Mr. Happy on a couple things, folks really shouldnt expect much in the way of major changes in 7.0 its very unlikely devs will fall back on their changes, because of these major shifts to the game folks really should evaluate whether this game is for them anymore. Is the game dead/dying? Nupe, not even remotely, still one of the top mmos world wide (it'll prolly take something like another Massive mmo release to really dent FFXIV, Jp would certainly jump onto something like Riots mmo for example.) But seems like a lot of players want to use "dead game" to justify leaving and really if FFXIV is just no fun for you it is perfectly fine to unsub and leave, the game has for sure changed and for a lot of long time players, for the worst, and unfortunately there just has not been any real sense, notification, anything really from the devs or Yoshi P that they see whats happening...

Honestly, I think this is the best take.

Instead of lying to yourself and using hyperbole to convince others to join you for validation or something, if you genuinely don't enjoy a thing, it may be time to walk away. Whether that's a vacation or a perma life decision, whatever's best for the individual. This is probably the most mature approach to it all.
